Synopsis: When Melody and Zion Holcomb move to Lavender Vale ahead of their parents, they expect the peaceful Gilded Age town to be a breath of fresh air.

Last seen: Grant and Zion raced the clock to save Melody from a century-old poison, but the spectres weren’t about to admit her to any hospital.
